Specification of Letters Patent.

- Patented April 2, 1907.-

Application filed Jute 6,1906- Ser l No. 323,528.

To all whom it may concern:'

Beit known that I, BENJAMIN F. GoLn- MAN, a citizen of the United States, residin at San Francisco, California, have invente certain new and useful Improvements in .Can Covers, of which the following is a spool- My invention herein set forth pertains to that class of cans for holding pulverized materials in which the cover or cap is formed with perforations and is applied to the top of the can having correspon 'ng perforations,

" the cap being revoluble to open or close the passage for the emission of contents of the can.

It consists of the special construction as hereinafter described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whic Figure 1 is a plan view of the can-topwith my im roved cover. the ob que line a a of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is asection on a line extending between the ears of the can-top and the lugs of the cap.l

It will be understood that in t 's class of cans, which go with the goods, it is specially desirable, and, indeed, even necessary in the trade, that the sifting-cover which renders it possible to sift the oods from the original package should be c eap, seas-not to very materlally increase the cost of the original package. At the same time security must the powdered not be sacrificed. To secure these ends, the.

res'sion which forms a stam ed with a de seat or the cap.

sage of the goods from the can. It has also on its u per surface a central raised boss 2,

formed y he die which makes the depressions. On the edgealso of the toplbordering upon the depression I cut, in t e actof stam ing the depression, small tongues 3, whicii are upturned to admit the cap and then bent over its edge to retain it in lace.

The cap B is formed by a suitable 'ein sha e to-fit the cavity and to turn therein. It as lugs 4 cut on its ed e, by, means of which it may be turned, an as they are 10- Fig. 2 is a section on his is made circular in. form and is provided with holes 1 for the pascated between. the ears 1 on the top, by means also of which its turning movement is limited. The cap also has holes 5 in form and arrangement corresponding to those in the top, so that when the cap is properly turned they may register to form free pas sages or to close those assages'. It has also a central hole 6, WhlCh engages with the raised boss 2.

' It will be understood that no rivet is required, the ears holding the capin its seat, and as the cap fits the seat ordepressi'on it forms a close cover and turns freely. The hole in its center fits closely upon the raised boss 2, and so causes it to serve as a pivot and facilitates the turning.

I claim- 1..In a can-to having a depression and holes inthe said epression, a cap having corresponding holes and having an upwardlyextendin flange, ears cut in the top at the edge of the depression, and bent down over the flange to hold the cap in place, and lu s on the ed e of said cap extending upward y between t e ears. 2. In a .can-top'having a depression and holes in said depression, a central boss a cap having corresponding holes and rotatably mounted in said depression, ears cut in the top of the edge of the depression, and bent to ho d the cap-m place, a hole in the center and lugs on the edge of saidcap, centered as set forth.

3. A can-top having a depression with ears cut in the top at the'ed e of the depression and extending downwar ly, and a rotary cap the parts being having an upwardly-extending flan e provided with lugs on its edge and fitting beneath the ears, said cap fitting in the can-top and said cap and top having openings adapted to register, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
